Chapter 294 Crispy Grilled Pork Belly (5)
After hearing Wen Mingtang's words, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu fell silent and subconsciously turned their attention to Wen Mingtang.
Thinking of Wen Mingtang, Ah Bing and Tang Yuan who were chopping vegetables and meat behind the counter every day, an inexplicable and strange feeling arose spontaneously.
What Master Wen said really made sense, but it was too frank to say it from her own mouth!
Just as he was thinking this, Lin Fei, who was flipping through the files, said: "There are also doctors like Wu Bucai who should understand the direction of human bones, as well as those doctors who help people see doctors and treat stomach problems."
Although the things that happened in recent days are a bit messy, it is not impossible to really connect them.
Facing Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, whose expressions suddenly changed after hearing this, Lin Fei shook his head and said: "I just said it casually. The two things may not be related. Rather than worrying about the stomach, let's deal with the corpse in the market first. The body that has yet to be identified is the key!”
The two nodded and were about to speak when Wen Mingtang, who was sitting next to him, suddenly stood up and walked to the "oven" on the countertop. He looked at the situation in the "oven" through the hole for a moment and seemed to feel that it was almost the same. , Wen Mingtang opened the "oven" through a thick cloth.
The crispy pork belly that was originally "locked" in the "oven" and could only emit a little fragrance from the hole was tempting enough. At this time, as Wen Mingtang opened the "door" of the "oven", the crispy pork belly was The aroma "locked" in the oven exploded, quickly flooding the entire public kitchen like a tide.
The pork belly is blended with the special aroma of the sauce of grilled pork belly. After several hours of marinating and nearly an hour of complicated grilling, it has been enhanced to the extreme.
The moment the door of the "oven" opened wide, all the fragrance that had been locked for a long time rushed out, rushing at it with an unstoppable force, "striking" people to the point of being defeated.
Liu Yuan didn't even resist, and was defeated on the spot. While sniffing the alluring fragrance from time to time, he pressed the tip of his tongue down to resist the saliva that kept pouring out, and exclaimed: "Master Wen...Master Wen...quickly... quick……"
Look at this person who was so excited that he couldn't even speak... Bai Zhu, who was a little more gentle, glanced at Liu Yuan and shook his head. Although he was much more reserved than Liu Yuan, his throat still moved and he swallowed. Drooling, he praised Wen Mingtang: "Master Wen's crispy pork belly is really amazing. The pork belly that took so much effort made me defeated as soon as it appeared."
Although the crispy pork belly is indeed worth a lot of praise, at this time, Bai Zhu only praised this sentence. His eyes fell on the crispy pork belly involuntarily, and he said " "Reservedly" he asked, "This crispy pork belly needs to be eaten while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."
Look at the abacus beads almost hitting your face! Liu Yuan rolled his eyes and Bai Zhu, and said: "It's all the same! Old Bai is just Moswen, and Master Wen is not a fool. Who can't understand the meaning of your words?" After saying that, without waiting for Bai Zhu to speak, he turned to the side and stared at the file. Looking at the pork belly, Lin Fei, who had said nothing, admired him again, "On the contrary, Lin Shaoqing doesn't say anything, so he is really not in a hurry..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Fei, who was "not in a hurry", put down the file in his hand and stood up, walked to Wen Mingtang, took one of the kitchen knives from the row of different sizes and shapes and handed it over, and asked Wen Mingtang: "Cut it." Is this the one for cooked food?"
Liu Yuan: "..."
Bai Zhu: "..."
I forgot that their Lin Shaoqing has always been a person who likes action more than talking.
Seeing that Lin Fei accurately picked the kitchen knife for cutting cooked food, Wen Mingtang nodded, looked up at him and said, "Lin Shaoqing is really meticulous!"
Although there are indeed a lot of these kitchen knives, those for cutting meat, vegetables, bones, and cooked food were all sorted by her as soon as she arrived, and they were never mixed.
The officials from Dali Temple only come here to eat every day, and they rarely see her busy chopping and cooking. Not to mention that the kitchen knives in her hands are all of the same style, differing only in size and shape.
Most people don't care at all. This was evident from the way the guards' eyes darkened when they came over to ask her about the knife in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fei picked out the one for cutting cooked food from those kitchen knives!
Wen Mingtang took the kitchen knife handed from Lin Fei and sighed again, "This young minister of Dali Temple is indeed worthy of his title." After that, he held the knife against the pig skin that had been stripped of oil and roasted until it was browned.
Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu also put down the files in their hands at this time, stood up and gathered around.
He originally thought that Wen Mingtang would find the right spot and cut off the meat, but when Wen Mingtang saw the crowd approaching, he slowed down his action and instead used the blade to scrape the roasted pork skin. Two times.
The roasted hard and crispy pork skin immediately made two "rustling" scraper sounds.
This sound... Liu Yuan felt that the fluid in his mouth and tongue was uncontrollably gushing out again. This feeling was like smelling the pungent spiciness of chili peppers. Without tasting it, listening to the sound and smelling the taste, People have instinct.
The "rustling" sound of the scraper, coupled with the rich aroma of barbecue, is really unbearable even before it reaches your mouth.
Fortunately, Wen Mingtang also knew how to restrain himself and only scraped it twice before finding the right place where he cut it when marinating it at the beginning and started cutting.
Holding the knife with one hand and aiming at the incision, the other hand patted the back of the knife briefly twice. With the strength of his hand, the blade was inserted between the pork belly. The whole piece of pork belly was cut open, revealing the beautiful section.
After repeated "acupuncture" and brushing with rice vinegar and salt, the roasted pork skin was completely deoiled and formed into a crispy brown shell. However, the pork belly meat under the crispy shell was still tender and raw, and was cut into pieces by the knife blade. For a moment, you can even see the obvious burst of juice.
Cutting off a piece of pork belly, Wen Mingtang raised his knife and cut the cut piece of pork belly into small pieces and neatly placed them on the plate. On the side, he put various dipping powders: chili powder, Five spice powder, cumin powder, salt and pepper powder, etc. are all available.
After handing over the cooked crispy roasted pork belly, Wen Mingtang unceremoniously took two pieces of sliced pork belly and stuffed them into his mouth in front of several people. The cook "snatched" them openly. one time.
Seeing Wen Mingtang eat the pork belly, everyone on the side who came back to their senses no longer stared at the pork belly and drooled, but hurriedly stretched out their hands to pick up the crispy grilled pork belly.
Listening to the sound of being burned, Wen Mingtang pursed his lips and snickered: The chef has developed a "ruthless iron hand" from cooking every day. Others should not try it easily. They should use chopsticks honestly. Perfect with this freshly baked crispy grilled pork belly!
